Idea: Magic comes from believing in something that doesn’t exist, together. 

What: A five-day creative beach retreat for artists to collaborate, connect and learn new skills.

Idea Camp on the Beach is the joyous innocence of summer camp with the community of art school. We plunge into the sea, laugh under the stars, learn new skills, and participate in artmaking workshops designed to help us tap into our most creative selves. This retreat takes place at El Muro Majahua, a family owned eco retreat center located on the west coast of Mexico. Over the course of the week, we will connect with each other, ourselves, and this special piece of the world.

All meals will feature fresh, local cuisine, prepared by an in house chef.

Workshops: At Idea Camp, our workshops help you unblock creativity, find play within your work, and use art as a tool to connect to yourself, each other, and the earth. Workshops focus on place-based art making, discovering your artistic style, collaborating with other artists, & more. We explore a variety of mediums, techniques, and approaches to creating.
